Save the Children Youth is a youth organisation, primarily run by young volunteers.  We make a difference through volunteer-based projects, working towards securing the needs of children and youth the best way possible.

Save the Children Youth is an organisation for young people between the ages 15 and 30, who wish to make a difference. 

Save the Children Youth’s activities are based on the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), which is ratified by all UN member states – except for The United States and Somalia.

• The rights of children are acknowledged and respected
• All children are heard and have an influence the decisions that affect them
  
• All children are familiar with their rights and the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child  

Save the Children Youth works to assure that the rights of all children are enforced in accordance with the United Nations’ Convention on the Rights of the Child, both in and outside of Denmark. We bring the rights and the reasons that they are violated into focus.

Save the Children Youth works to give children and youth the right to be heard and be taken seriously. Children and youth are the ones who know how it is like to grow up in today’s world, and should therefore have the opportunity to affect the development on their own terms.

Save the Children Youth wish to call attention to the role and responsibility of the individual to enforce children’s rights. We wish to put pressure on public authorities, the media and others to prevent violations of children’s rights.

Save the Children Youth is initiated by youth, run by youth and for youth. We believe all young people should have the opportunity to use their knowledge and experience in project related work. We believe we can inspire and learn from each other through our commitment on youth participation.
